My brother wants to add a half cage to his 914. Any info from anyone running one would be greatly appreciated. Pro's and con's that you may have experienced?
Weld in or bolt in.. Either way works for us but leaning towards welding it in. TIA.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

One of my 914s had a Safety Devices cage. It was welded in, but they are bolt in/weld in friendly.
Street car.. Used for DE/Autocross. Biggest gripe? Made taking the roof on and off a bit more PITA.. and more often than not, I just left the top in place Ran both harnesses and factory belts. No door beam supports like some of the above have. Not sure how much that actually helps in an impact.. or if they would bend in and cause more harm than good. Remind me of the "pro Street" type 1/4 miile cars with albeit rule complying but curious designs. A half cage/ merely a rollbar hoop I also wonder how much rigidity is added to the chassis vs the additional weight. I had some pictures on an old photobucket site.. not sure if I they are still accessible.. http://www.safetydevices.com/motorsport/pr...+Spec/451/1276/ The other issue you will notice is that room to swing your feet in and out is cut down with a 4/6pt cage. |
